All my hopes and dreams shatter when Mrs. Julie slams the test result on the table. An expression between a wince and anger crosses me as I stare at the big taunting 'F'.
"You couldn't have made that 'F' any bigger, couldn't you?" I mutter.
She looks up at me from her desk, her dark blue glasses slipping halfway down her nose. "You failed."
I can fucking see that.
Julie is kind enough to give me a few seconds of self-loathing before she shatters my dreams further with her next sentence.
"You can't continue cheerleading anymore."
That sentence alone sends me into a wave of panic. "One more chance."
"You've said that before too." She gives me a weary look.
Like a hundred times, I know.
"But this time I'm actually serious," I say. "One more test."
She shakes her head. "Holly–"
"You know I can't quit cheerleading."
"Then you should've thought about studying and passing this test. I literally only asked you to pass it."
My hands clench into fists. She did give me too many chances, and I've always taken her lightly. Studying and I just do not belong on the same page. It's not that I don't wanna study, it's just that I get distracted easily and eventually my boredom carries me to other stuff.
But right now, I'm ready to get home and surround myself with a pile of books just thinking of how I'm gonna lose the position as Cheer captain.
"One more chance." I plead, making sure to show how desperate I am this time.
Julie stares up at me with a resigned expression.
This school gives equal focus to both sports and education. It makes sure that while students are interested in sports and put their efforts into it, they don't lag behind in their studies and education.
I'm plenty good at sports but in studies...not so much.
I give Julie my best look of determination and desperation, hoping she'll crack once again under my stare.
It doesn't surprise me when she finally does after a few beats with a loud sigh.
Relieve starts to melt my expression but she quickly holds up a finger.
